My stubborn will at last hath yielded;
I would be Thine, and Thine alone,
And this the prayer my lips are bringing,
“Lord, let in me Thy will be done.”
I would be Thine, and Thine alone,
And this the prayer my lips are bringing,
“Lord, let in me Thy will be done.”
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,
Till I am wholly lost in Thee;
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,
Till I am wholly lost in Thee.
Till I am wholly lost in Thee;
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,
Till I am wholly lost in Thee.

I’m tired of sin, footsore and weary,
The darksome path hath dreary grown,
But now a light has ris’n to cheer me;
I find in Thee my Star, my Sun.
The darksome path hath dreary grown,
But now a light has ris’n to cheer me;
I find in Thee my Star, my Sun.

Thy precious will, O conqu’ring Savior,
Doth now embrace and compass me;
All discords hushed, my peace a river,
My soul a prisoned bird set free.
Doth now embrace and compass me;
All discords hushed, my peace a river,
My soul a prisoned bird set free.

Shut in with Thee, O Lord, forever,
My wayward feet no more to roam;
What pow’r from Thee my soul can sever?
The center of God’s will my home.
My wayward feet no more to roam;
What pow’r from Thee my soul can sever?
The center of God’s will my home.

The working of the law of the divine life must permeate our will. Although I have heard many people say, “I hate my stubborn will, ” I have never heard anyone say, “I hate my submissive will. ” We all must learn to say, “I hate my stubborn will, my submissive will, and my neutral will. I just hate my will. I don’t care whether my will is stubborn, submissive, or neutral. As long as it is my will, I hate it because it is natural. ” As the law of the divine life works in us, one of its functions will saturate our will with the will of Christ, making His will ours. In this way our will is remade with the very element of Christ’s will. This means that Christ’s life will grow into our will. Eventually, in our mind, emotion, and will there will be the growth of the life of Christ.

Stubborn indeed are we how many times do we ran away or try to avoid or bypass what God has expressly said. Trying to find solutions to our problems while rests before you his perfect will.

This song goes straight to my soul
This song is a prayer from heart. My sincere desire is to be more and more like God. To be wolly God’s and God alone.

I heard this hymn in 1948 as a junior in a Christian college and never since. But it lodged itself in my heart and I recalled most of the words. The Holy Spirit has caused me to sing it many times and to remain wholly surrendered to the Lord.

I listened to this song in church today and I was lost .. I kept singing within my heart... I couldn't stop hearing the echo of the melody of this song.. I resorted to listen to it over and over and my tears couldn't just help but join in singing.. I'm blessed!

We are imprisoned when we are going against God's will. Our soul is imprisoned when we refuse take God's way. God's way is for us to come to Him and drink! To believe into Him.
John 6:28
Then they said to Him, What shall we do that we may work the works of God?
John 6:29
Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe into Him whom He has sent.

Every morning I wake up with a song in my heart. This morning, this was the song that God laid upon me as I knelt to pray. I knew the chorus since I was a child from my Baptist upbringing in Clarendon Jamaica, but never knew the words of the verses. Thank God for giving mankind the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to create modern technology.
This morning I finally learnt the words after over fifty years.
